Hi,

Thanks to all who replied to my original question :

All responses suggested hardware failure, though probably not the 
battery (this may have been the case if the machine was loosing time 
once switched off).  One person also suggested a possible NTP problem. 
We ruled this out by turning NTP off.

We've swapped the machine out for a new one and all seems to be fine 
again.  I will post a followup if we ever pinpoint exactly what the 
problem was.

Alex...
